Ok, so, with both COA-MATT and school almost over, my freedom is near!!! I'm so exctied. As usual, nothing cool has been happening lately, but today is the COA-MATT ceremony, and it is likely that that event will be interesting, so I will have some good stories to feed to you slavering fiends. Right. And on Monday, I might get to go see Reloaded con Jeff! WOOT!

SOMEday this site will be interesting again. Until then, here's a cool quote:

I hate this place. This zoo. This prison. This reality, whatever you want to call it, I can't stand it any longer. It's the smell, if there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste your stink and every time I do, I fear that I've somehow been infected by it. - Agent Smith

Yeah, sometimes, I know how he feels.

I do believe that this has been the most non-exciting weekend I've ever participated in. Nothing but irritating problems. Not only that, but I cannot muster the will power to do my homework. Over the past 2 days, I've written ONE SENTENCE in an essay that is but half done. And I also feel like I've totally let Jeff down, cuz we've been planning forever to hang out this weekend, and I don't think I'll be available, what with all this homework and the COA-MATT rehearsal tomorrow. Sorry, Jeff, I'm a dumbass. And this whole Nessa thing. AAARRRGGGHHH!!!

Ah, yes, Saturday. Too bad I'm GROUNDED!!! Homework is seriously the ONLY thing that is screwing my life up. My life would literally be PERFECT if there were no homework. Like, PERFECT. As in, if there is a heaven, it's my life, but minus the homework. Whereas hell is this, being grounded on Memorial Day weekend.

So, today's topic is: privacy. If you are posting your thoughts on the internet, a public area, is it wrong for people to read them? I personally write this for the entertainment of others, alongside with the normal function of a journal. If you want a private place for your thoughts, it makes more sense to put them on paper, something REAL that you can protect. I don't know what I'm trying to say here. I guess, I want everybody to read this site, because that's why I made it, and if you want yours to stay sacred, then tell me. Ummm...yeah.

Once, in preschool, I found a transformer in one of the rooms. It changed between a small robot and a tape, and I would put it in my pocket, pretending it was a tape player, and hum to myself. The teacher saw it and had me throw it away.

Death is scary. I just realized that you can't really know when you are gonna die. Just now, I choked a little on my OWN SPIT, with noone around. What if it had stuck? What if it had stuck and I just died, suffocated by my own saliva. What a terrible way to die. What a terribly depressing post.

MANGURIS CAUGHT ME!!!! And she took me to Ms. Working, and Ms. Working gave me ISS for a day. ISS! FOR PUTTING PENCILS IN THE CEILING! AND SHE'S STILL GONNA MAKE ME PAY IF THE TILES NEED REPLACEMENT(which they won't)!!!! But that's ok. Oh, wait, NO IT ISN'T! IT'S VERY STUPID!!! AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!

Or maybe half! So, I did my chores, and left for the bus just as my sister and all her friends were getting here. So I ran to the bus stop. Then I stopped. Then I just ran all the way to the metro, stopping for a sec at each bus stop, where I met up with Alix and Alex. Jeff's EVIL parent's said that he couldn't come, so it was just us. So we took the metro to Wheaton. We ACTUALLY used on of those photo booth thingies. And I got orange chicken which I didn't finish and carried around with me all day. It was weird, cuz I was feeling kinda attracted to Alix, but at the same time, Alex and Alix we like, cuddling like they were a couple, which they aren't (I think). So, anyway, we hung out at Wheaton for about 4 hours, and then went back to Alex's. Alex had to do hw, so Alix and I went to visit Jeff, who wasn't home, and then we walked to the metro, cuz Alix had to get home, and I was gonna meet Bruno and Anuja/Otto to go to X2 at the Uptown. Anuja couldn't come, so we just went ahead anyway. Bruno and I parted ways with Alix at the Cleveland Park stop, and walked to the Uptown, bought our tickets, and went in. It was at this point that my chicken was lost, cuz I couldn't bring it to the theater. X2 was pretty good. Not like, Matrix-caliber, but definitely entertaining. Nightcrawler is my favorite, cuz he's cool. Too bad he's all religious. There CAN be faith without God. (By the way, Alex, Jean Grey if definitely NOT DEAD. I guess you just aren't nerdy enough to know this already.) After the movie, we were waiting in the parking lot of the Pizzeria UNO, when a fight broke out between a couple of guys. They left, but the police came, and questioned Bruno, and took his number in case anything criminal happened and he needs to testify or something. After that nothing really exciting happened until this morning after I got home, I found out that Cary dumped Emma, and now she's all depressed and bulimic, and it's making me angry and sad. It's ok to be kinda depressed after a breakup, but Emma has fragile self-esteem and being bulimic is definitely NOT ok. Anyway, I'm kinda trailing off here at the end, and i can't think of any good way to end this post, but I just thought of more things I wanna say, so I guess it's not over. ACK! I have to do all my english make up by Tuesday, or else I will be DOOMED to have a 9.6% FOREVER. OOH!!! AND NEXT WEEK RELOADED COMES OUT!!!! AND THE CHILI-COOK OFF!!!! I'm so excited. By the way, on Wednesday, I will have been online for exactly ONE YEAR!!! I should have a big party...or not. BYEBYE!
posted by Xaq Rothman at 11:09     

Bruno and I were woken up by my mom around 7. We drove to Burger King to get breakfast, then dropped Bruno off. When we got to the dojo, Mr. Cuffy was standing outside. And it turns out that the big cool all day Aikido beach trip type thang was canceled, cuz there was supposed to be thunderstorms later, and they would have happened while we were out on the ocean (or the bay, I'm not sure which Easten Shore they were talking about). So, my mom and I went back to Bruno's, to pick him up, and we just stood outdise in the car for like, 10 minutes, talking about my sister's issues, and then I went and got Bruno. Unfortunately, he couldn't come back, so I just went home, and got on the computer, where I remembered that there were some plans with Alex and Jeff and Alix to celebrate Alix's b-day. We were planning to go to Wheaton, and I asked my mom about it (IT'S 10:23! I SAW IT LAST NIGHT TOO!), and I heard something about my sister and her friends going to Wheaton, but whatever. Ack, so right now, I g2g celebrate Mother's Day, so I will continue this tale at a later time (maybe an hour, maybe 24).

Today was cool. I had a big "fight" fight with Sebby, and I still need to exact my revenge. We (Bruno and I) went to Iva's, then to TPMS to see if we could find Sebby, but we couldn't. Instead we found my sister, and her disturbingly hot 7th grade friends. It was cool, though, cuz they all think I'm hot, but they are all CHILDREN. Bruno is envious. Anyway, we then went to Martin' s house, and he told us that Sebastian WAS at Takoma, so went back to look for him (and cuz I like the attention). We still didn't find him, but we hung out there, and somehow Jackson, Ian, Nick, and Andrea were all there. Woot. So we stayed for a while, and then we went back to Martin's (even though he wasn't allowed to have anyone over). I played his drums, and used his BB gun irresponsibly (unless you are my mom, in which case I was the only one who DIDN'T play with the BB gun). We shot the walls, and one of Martin's cymbals, and the dart board. Once, I missed the dart board and hit the hard wooden door, and the BB ricocheted off and hit my tummy, where I now have a welt the size of a...well, checking now, it's pretty much gone, but DAMN it hurt. Anyway, when we tried to leave Martin's, we opened the garage door to find ourselves staring at the tail lights of Martin's grandma's car, which was on and occupied. So we ran. Heheh. But she didn't see us, I don't think. We went back to Bruno's where I called my mom, and found that my softball game was cancelled. Anyway, so now I'm posting this from Bruno's and we are probably gonna go back to my place to watch little children while my parents our at a movie. Yah. Call if you wanna hang out (301 270-0111 me, 301 585-3835 bruno)!

I'm not gonna say anymore, you can see it once it's done. OOH! And today we have 5A lunch, cuz the only time Sra. Gonzalez could get the library was during 5B. And there are lots of cool people in 5A, and most of the cool people from 5B are in my spanish class, so everything is cool. I still have 20 minutes 'til Tech Ed is over. I think I'll post something on the mega-blog (if you wanna join it, first, you gotta have a blogger account, and then you have to e-mail me @ fearthe1023@lycos.com).

I'm at Alex's house. We just got back from the softball practice, and I wasn't planning to get sucked into this whole "sports" thing again, but was. Darn. Oh, well. We are listening to RATM REALLY LOUD and it's rocking my socks. Like, my socks are rocking. Well, not really. But if they were sitting on the speakers, they would be. I also have my bass with me, cuz I'm going to Jeff's tomorrow, and I can play along with the songs I know, even if you can't hear a thing of it.

A jail cell is freedom
from the pain in my home.
Hatred passed on, passed on, passed on.
A world of violent rage,
but it's one that I can recognize
having never seen the color of my father's eyes.
Yes, I dwell in hell,
but it's a hell that I can GRIP.
I tried to grip my family,
but I SLIPPED.
To escape from the pain,
and an existence mundane,
I got a .9, a sign, a set, AND NOW I GOT A NAME!

READ MY WRITING ON THE WALL
NOONE HERE TO CATCH ME WHEN I FALL
DEATH IS ON MY SIDE...
SUICIDE!
